The global supply chain has been experiencing frequent “chain break” events, raising concerns about supply chain resilience within the academic community. When innovating, enterprises require support for supply chain resilience when faced with the risk of a “chain break.” Current research primarily focuses on the impact of information technology or digital technology on enterprise supply chains, neglecting the influence of market accessibility on enterprise innovation performance through the supply chain system. By considering supply chain resilience as an influence path, this study assesses the impact of market accessibility on firms’ innovation performance. The results suggest that market accessibility significantly influences innovation performance, but its impact on innovation quality is less pronounced concerning the quantity of innovative output. The impact of market accessibility is partly due to market expansion beyond a firm's domestic boundaries. The mechanism analysis reveals that market accessibility improves supply chain resilience by optimizing efficiency and adaptability, fostering enterprise innovation performance. However, market accessibility undermines supply chain stability, enhancing innovation. Further analysis suggests that market accessibility has a stronger positive impact on the innovation performance of larger firms and their localities. Additionally, it mitigates the negative effects of geographical distance on firm innovation.

The relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and employee creativity has become more critical than ever for companies, such as in regards to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs) in today's knowledge intensive economy. This paper aims to examine this relationship by emphasizing the affective and cognitive processes that CSR influences creativity through. Our analysis in Pakistan's hospitality sector expands on this by pointing to the happiness and creative self-efficacy of employees as the mediated variables in this relationship, whereas polychronicity is the moderating variable. The data was collected from 409 employees working in upscale hotels in Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi by incorporating a three-wave survey technique, which makes the study more reliable and valid. The analysis was conducted using SMART-PLS software, which is effective in regards to analyzing complex models and is best suited for exploratory research. The findings show that CSR can boost employee creativity, which is a key driver in regards to attaining the UN-SDGs, when it is incorporated in a genuine manner. This study provides appropriate theoretical extensions by connecting CSR and creativity with the emotional and cognitive variables, which contributes to the existing literature regarding how CSR initiatives can foster innovation. This study offers recommendations for organizations that are interested in promoting creativity among their staff and contributing to global sustainability. We argue that increasing the positive emotional climate and enhancing the perceived creativity for change of employees are the strategies that would help in regards to advancing sustainable and innovative practices, which is consistent with the notion that CSR is best aligned with the UN-SDGs. These findings provide a strong rationale in regards to linking CSR with an organization's strategic goals and objectives in order to create sustainability as well as promote innovation. This study highlights the role of CSR in regards to stimulating change and building solutions that respond to the global aspiration for sustainable development.

In recent years, the transnational and regional dimensions of tourism have strengthened. Unlike in the past, we can now consider regional tourism policies, such as innovation policies. The recent creation of the UN Tourism Office for the Americas is a step in this direction. Within this framework, this study analyzes the competitive factors of tourism and innovation in Latin America. This study uses cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling, and FsQCA to answer two questions: Are there similarities in the tourism development profiles of different Latin American countries that would allow the design of common and specific tourism policies aimed at innovation and growth in each profile? If common profiles (regional clusters) exist, what are the determining factors that have driven the recent evolution of tourism performance? To answer these questions, this study uses data from the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index and the Global Innovation Index. The study shows that it is possible to identify two clusters of countries in Latin America with similar levels of tourism competitiveness. The first cluster includes Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Peru, which have higher but more heterogeneous levels of competitiveness. Additionally, there is a second cluster of more homogeneous countries with lower levels of competitiveness. The study also made it possible to identify a set of factors related to the enabling environment (business environment, safety and security, health and hygiene, human resources and labor market, qualification of the labor force, labor market, and ICT readiness) as pivotal for affirming the sector's competitiveness. Therefore, this study makes important contributions to the design of innovation policies in this sector.

This paper aims to deepen our understanding of the contingency and complex interrelations between multidimensional intellectual capital (IC), technology-based knowledge management (KM), and innovation outcomes in the rapidly changing business environment. More particularly, we investigate causal recipes for high innovation performance consisting of traditional IC components (human capital, structural capital, relational capital), the three more recently emerging IC dimensions (renewal capital, entrepreneurial capital, trust capital), and digital KM practices. This study adopts neo-configurational perspective and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to explore multiple conjunctural causations of innovation performance using survey data collected from 102 publicly listed enterprises in Taiwan. Although the four identified archetypes (causal recipes) indicate that all IC dimensions and digital KM are potential collaborators contributing to high innovation performance, they also emphasize the critical role of digital KM in leveraging relational and trust capital for superior innovation performance. Human, structural, entrepreneurial, and renewal capital seems to be a supporting chorus for open and collaborative innovations in the digital era.

ChatGPT and Bard (now known as Gemini) are becoming indispensable resources for researchers, academicians and diverse stakeholders within the academic landscape. At the same time, traditional digital tools such as scholarly databases continue to be widely used. Web of Science and Scopus are the most extensive academic databases and are generally regarded as consistently reliable scholarly research resources. With the increasing acceptance of artificial intelligence (AI) in academic writing, this study focuses on understanding the reliability of the new AI models compared to Scopus and Web of Science. The study includes a bibliometric analysis of green, sustainable and ecological buying behaviour, covering the period from 1 January 2011 to 21 May 2023. These results are used to compare the results from the AI and the traditional scholarly databases on several parameters. Overall, the findings suggest that AI models like ChatGPT and Bard are not yet reliable for academic writing tasks. It appears to be too early to depend on AI for such tasks.
